Q.
It would be so nice if, with just a few mouse clicks, I could open a
group of files related to a particular work project I frequently use.
Other than creating separate folders (subdirectories) for each project,
is there a way to open a group of related files?

A. There are several ways. One of the best is a
little-known feature of Word called Work . When you
click on Work , a customized list of related files
appears; click on one and open it.

In all likelihood you don’t have Work in your
toolbar. To add it click on Tools, Customize and the
Commands tab. Under Categories ,
tab down to Built-in Menus and drag the Work
icon to your toolbar.

Now, to create the custom list of related files, open one document
and then click on Work and on Add to Work
Menu .

Important : Revising the Work Menu once it’s
created is not intuitive—so save these instructions for deleting a
file from it: Press Ctrl+Alt+- (hyphen). Then go to the Work
Menu and click on the document you want to remove.
